I think it's gone for good, other than targeted mailers. Amex has learned from their costly mistake of letting stable 100K links go public last year. They lost a ton of money on that one, and drew a great deal of ire after freezing thousands of MRs accounts (including mine).

Platinum targeted offer
I thought the sign up bonus was 60,000 but Mrs Hawkeyeflyer got an offer today for 100,000 for $5k spend in three months
Did I read the offer wrong or is this targeted
Sorry if there is a thread already, feel free to merge

Targeted, see this thread:

Also, check to see if offer contains blurb about once in a lifetime.

Merged HawkeyeFlyer's question into the thread helpfully located by Troopers. As you see this has been running since 2013. The are always targeted Platinum offers circulating.

I received 100k Platinum American Express offer today in the mail. Very excited as I scoured the internet for the past 2 months trying to find an offer link.

In the last three months, I've managed to pull up the 75K offer using Incognito mode twice. Most recently was two days ago....and I passed on the offer (d'oh!) due to the number of cards I've recently acquired from AMEX.

I just got the 100k card. Went to website, signed up to see what offers were available, 100k for Plat came up, signed up and got instant approval. Will see how fast the points post, I'll buy an airline ticket to cover the spending as soon as card comes in

wife and I both received $100k offers, should we, can we?
My wife received the offer last week, mine arrived today. we have until dec to respond. Not sure if the offer is limited to one per household. Given the bonus, it seems like we should both apply but stagger the application dates to lighten the load on required spend.
otoh, given that some of the family/spouse benefits overlap, it might make more sense for one of us to take the offer, not renew and hope we'll get another offer in a year or so.
thoughts?
thanks!

Did you sign up for something to get it?
Part of my issue imay be that I've had some identify theft issues and I think reporting it to the credit reporting agencies stopped credit card offers. I still got lots of Delta Amex offers because of my DL membership but don't need any more program specific airline miles.

i got one in the mail as well last week. never had an Amex in my life.
Im somewhat tempted, but not sure if this card is worth it for me. I barely use Uber, though if Eats counts, probably could shift dining expenses there easily enough, but still. And just renewed CSP, which I’m quite happy with, and seems a bit more flexible to me, at least for my needs.
